Derek cox breakdown

by darkseraph18 on Apr 28, 2009 12:03 PM EDT

So I decided to do a breakdown of the games that mr. cox played last year by taking a look at the box scores. This is what I found:

Game 1:W&M vs. NCST

H. Beck of NCST threw for 245 yds on 17 of 25 passing with 2 tds and 1 int

The int you may be curious to know came from DEREK COX. Who then promptly returned it 45 yds for a TD.

Game 2: vs. VMI

VMI is a running team had only 3 passes completed for about 20 yards.

Game 3: vs. Norfolk State

D. Brown

13/32

94yds

0 tds

3ints With one coming from D. Cox

Game 4: vs. Villanova

C.Whitney was 20/27 for 187 yds and 3tds

Game 5: vs. NH

R. Toman 305 yds. 2 td 2 int none be cox

Game 6: vs Delaware

R. Schoenhoft 45 yds 0 td 1 int

Game 7: vs RI

D. Cassidy 225 yds 2 tds 3 int none from cox but 1 PD

Game 8: vs.Towson

S. Schaefer 186 yds 2 tds 2 ints and one was from our man D. Cox

Game 9: vs Northeastern

A. orio 247 yds 1 td 1 int and the 1 int? From our man D. cox that was returned 12 yds for a TD. Not to mention the 3 punt returns for 98 yds with the longest going for 89 and a TD

Game 10: vs.James Madison

R. Landers 212 yds and 3 tds

Game 11: vs Richmond

E. Ward 80 yds 1 int No Ints for Cox but he returned a punt 80 yds for a TD.

So what does this tell us about Cox? Was he worth a 2nd next year? Or was it just because of the competition level? It seems to me that the guy is a playmaker on defense and has the ability to be a game changer.

It's very difficult to tell anything about a CB from stats

If they do their job perfectly, the QB wont throw it that direction and they get no stats for it.

Great job with the stats

Just about every other game, Cox made some kind of game-changing play. Awesome for a CB and return man.

To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

Thats cool to know

A lot of his big plays came against good competition, such as NC State. I’m getting more and more confident. He ain’t got my trust yet, but I think he has potential.

I don't know if this was posted yet...

but I found this on William and Mary’s football and it’s a interview on Cox going into his 5th season. It has a few highlights and really spoke words on his character.

“As a 5th year senior, I believe that a big portion of my job is to set that mold and that model for the younger guys so they can see how it is done”
